The Words They Choose Are So Smooth

Smooth talkers weave their words in such a way as to make anyone who disagrees with them sound ridiculous. Politicians are that way. Today I heard 5 seconds of President Obama's speech to the Muslim community in Cairo. Who can disagree with the big broad themes he uses, like loving your neighbor, working together, etc. It is what is in the unspoken ideology that is the sum and substance of what I would really like to hear. Instead of big, broad themes that everyone can agree with, I would like to hear a politician say what he means, and mean what he says.
